The Cleveland Jewish News (the CJN) is a weekly Jewish newspaper headquartered in Beachwood, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland.[1][2] The newspaper contains local, national, and international news of Jewish interest.[2]
It was formed in 1964.[3] It is a successor to two Cleveland Anglo-Jewish newspapers – The Jewish Independent (established in 1906) and the Jewish Review & Observer (which had as its roots the Hebrew Observer, founded in 1889).[1][3][4]
The Cleveland Jewish News had as its first issue a 32-page tabloid on October 30, 1964.[1][3][4] Arthur Weyne was its first editor.[3] He was followed by Jerry D. Barach, and then in 1980 by Cynthia Dettelbach, and most recently by current editor Michael E. Bennett.[3][5]
From 1989 to 2002, the newspaper was located in Shaker Heights and University Heights.[3][4] In 2002, it moved to 23880 Commerce Park, Beachwood.[3]
In 2005, the Cleveland Jewish News had a circulation of 12,500, and a readership of 45,000.[3]
